Chocolate Bundles with Chocolate Ganache





Recipe courtesy Paula Deen


Show: Paula's Home Cooking


Episode: Romantic Meal for Two





Bundles:


1 sheet puff pastry


2 eggs


1 teaspoon heavy cream


8 chocolate kisses (recommended: Hershey's)


8 miniature chocolate candy bars





Ganache:


1/2 cup heavy cream


4 ounces milk chocolate, broken into small pieces





Sweetened whipped cream, optional


Fresh strawberries, sliced, for garnish


Mint sprigs, for garnish





Bundles: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.





Unfold puff pastry and cut the sheet into 2 (4 by 4-inch squares). Beat eggs and cream together to create an egg wash. Brush pastry squares with egg wash. Place 2 chocolate kisses and 1 mini candy bar in the center of each pastry square. Repeat with remaining kisses and mini-bars. Pull corners of the square up around the chocolate, brushing edges with more egg wash, if necessary, to create a secure bundle. Brush exteriors of chocolate bundles with more egg wash. Repeat with remaining bundles.





Place bundles on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until golden brown.





Ganache:





In a sauce pan bring the heavy cream to a boil. Place the chocolate pieces in a bowl and pour hot cream over top. Whisk until smooth.





Puddle ganache onto a plate and place 1 bundle on top. Top with whipped cream and additional ganache, if desired.





Serve bundles garnished with strawberry slices and mint sprigs.
